Modeling of Bicycling in the Copenhagen Greater Area Model for Passenger Transport Activity-Based Model for Copenhagen

This paper describes new advances in modeling bicycle travel in Copenhagen implemented in the COMPASS activity-based model system for the Greater Copenhagen Area. In addition to considering bicycle as a mode option, the mode choice model explicitly models bicycle access to and egress from public transport (PT), whether the cyclist parks at the PT station or carries the bicycle on board the PT vehicle. Mode choice is sensitive to bicycle generalized time from bicycle route choice via the expected utility (logsum) from an integrated bicycle route choice model. The bicycle route choice model includes explanatory variables such as travel time – split by free flow, congested and time spent on crossings – surroundings, and type and width of the cycle path. The route choice logsums then enter the demand model where the traveller and tour characteristics further inform the bicycle utility function. COMPASS includes modelling of electric bicycles. Also, car delays at intersections are a function of bicycle flows in the model.
